Players can dress up their Trainer and partner Pokémon in a wide variety of cool and cute outfits, costumes, accessories and even hairstyles. A slew of familiar Pokémon will be making an appearance, including Rattata, Pidgey, Arcanine, Starmie and many more. For the first time, Eevee has a unique gender difference; female Eevee can be distinguished by a noticeable love heart pattern. The Pokémon has unveiled a set of new videos that highlight Pokémon battles and wild Pokémon encounters. Players can become best friends with their Pikachu or Eevee and can pet, feed and even tickle them. Your partner Pokémon isn’t the only one that can travel along with you – you can have any Pokémon in the game as a traveling companion, too.

Players will be able to connect with other players online or via local wireless communication between Nintendo Switch consoles to enjoy Pokémon battles. They will also be able to trade Pokémon with each other using these communication features to help complete their Pokédex. In order to use the Internet-based communication features for battling and trading, players will need to enroll in the paid Nintendo Switch Online service that officially launches in September.
